      Pros

      It used to be a good place to work. VZ bought out Vodafone and believed they were the reason for the success of Wireless. The wheels have been coming off for years. The arrogance to think that you can prioritize anything but great execution and still be successful is astounding. It feels like working for the government with all of the layers of bureaucracy and the multitude of really dumb decisions. Verizon is much closer to ending up in the dustbin of history with the likes of Sprint and Nextel than anyone thinks.

      Cons

      The new logo looks like Netflix had an accident.

      Pros

      Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

      Cons

      Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
